Takkarist McKinley trolls himself on Twitter for 'Horrible practice'

You’re going to like the way Takkarist McKinley approaches the game of football. We guarantee it.

Atlanta’s rookie defensive end made headlines today by getting into the first scuffle of training camp with veteran left tackle Jake Matthews. Whether it was related or not, McKinley apparently wasn’t proud of how he played during Friday night’s drills.

McKinley took to Twitter after practice and berated himself for what he called a “horrible practice” and he criticized his get-off, his pad level, his hands and even his conditioning:

McKinley’s drive must have been an attraction for Atlanta’s front office going into this year’s draft. We can’t read Dan Quinn’s mind, but this has to be pretty close to exactly the attitude he was hoping to see from Takk.

McKinley is expected to make his NFL debut during the Falcons’ third preseason game of the year against the Arizona Cardinals.
